In the panic which occurred mothers lost their reason and threw their Children through the windows and tire escapes to the tritt bidow. That all were caught by the policemen and firemen and escaped serious Injury seem- marvelous. 1'oIlowinK l: the list of injured: Max Salisbury, aged tweniy. burnul about the face, kands and body; John J. Jleardon, detective, cut on. hands and fare by falling gJa; ilichael Oes t ft kit, suffering from shock and contusions. There were thirteen families in the house. The rlre was discovered at 3:UU o'clock by the wife of the janitor, who aroused her bur-bund, and together they went to th'i front of the house, giving the alarm. On the top floor of the tenement lived Morris Cohen, hid wife and their children, Sophia. Harry and Uenjamin. The flames were already through the roof when they were awakened. Escape by the hallway was cut off. Groping; their way through the smoke to the winuow Cohen picked up the boy Harry, and, calling to his wife to follow. ot out on the lire escape and started to Descend. Mrs. Cohen carried the baby in lier arms and the boy Uenjamin followed. Out on the lire escape, the flames and smoke which burst from the windows below thein separated the members of the family, and only Collen and the boy reached the street. When the liremen were linally ab;to reach, the top floor they found the bodies or Mrs. Cohen and the other two children Liackened and burned, lying on the lire escape landing.

A fire, in which ?200,0) worth of property was destroyed and live firemen, Including Chief Hale, were injured, occurred fit the Jacob lold Packing Company's plant on Eighth Etreet, near the Kansas line to-night. Thein ju red firemen are: CHIEF HALE, scalp cut by falling bricks. ED Ui'ER, ribs broken. MIKE MA HONEY, back and limbs injured by falling wall. THOMAS P. CONSIDINE, head cut by glas. JOHN NOLAN, leg and foot hurt. The cause of the lire is not known. It was first discovered In the box factory, which Is directly under the butterine department,' after It had gained considerable headway. The night watchman had just pone on duty and the other employes had ;one home when the fire was discovered. The first alarm was sent in at 6 p. m., and Foon all of the available firemen in the city were on the scene, but it was evident that It would be impossible to save tlR main building, in which the fire originated. The :ire burned for three hours, during which time the firemen worked to prevent its spreading to the other building and at the end of that time the fire was under control but the main building was a wreck. The main building of the Jacob Dold Tacking Company was destroyed by fire in September, ly.rj, entailing a loss of $.01 J. The building was rebuilt within three months thereafter, but the company did not resume operations, except in the1 manufacture of butterine. This department employed seventy-live men. All of the slaughtering of cattle, sheep and hogs has been ' carried on at the company's plant at AVichita. Kan. It is said that the Dold Company purposes to build a new plant in Armourdaje, which site is convenient to the ptockyards and the properties where the fire occurred to-night are to be sold, or leased. Mr. Dold refused to make a statement of the loss sustained by the fire tonight, but he said he valued all of the buildings at half a. million dollars, and that they were not fully insured. IKelimond's Hotel Fire. RICHMOND, Va., March 20.-The Jefferson Hotel, one of the most imposing buildings In Richmond, was practical ly fcwept out of existence by fire early tocay. All that remains of the magnificent structure, which was built and furrished at over $1.),0.'0, are the two clock towers and a part of the court fronting on Franklin street. The fiames spread rapidly and messengers were sent through the building to awaken guests, many of whom had to be dragged out of bed. There was a gentral rush toward the Franklin street part. The department worked hurriedly, but under the greatest dlrbculty wing to the height of the bullding. lii the Franklin street lection wen a number of very valuable pictures and Valentine's marble statue of Jefferson. Th' statue was saved minus the head ami the pictures were got out. as was mucn oi the drapery and furniture. All the guests :ot out safely. Mr. . J. Milliards, of lanville. 111., was the only man hurt. He fril down a flight of stairs and broke his kg. A bo j' named Robertson is missleg. It is feared he was caught in the I urnlng building. Several liremen wi re more or less injured but none seriously. The insurance en the building is about $u.Uio. It is not yet known whether the hotel will be rebuilt. The Jefferson wa.i cpned six years and was one of the finest hotelrivis In the South. It occupied a full rnlf block anil was regarded as practically lire proof. The lire originated In the limn room, -supposedly from a defective electric wire. The majority of the guests lost their baggage. Former I.t;iIatnr ISurnod. SrUINOFIELD. O.. March "0.

March CO.-Mauricc Barrymore, the actor, who was taken to the Insane pavilion at Eellev-ue Hospital yesterday, passed a restless night. He awakened early this morning, but would not talk to any one. Earrymore constantly muttered to himself, and once in a while would ask for a pen and Ink, saying he wished to write to his daughter Ethel, who was detained from him. A Comedian Overcome. ANN AIU'OR. Mich., March SO. William C. Mandeville, a comedian playing the Marquis De Uacarcl, with Thomas Q. Seabrooke's company, was overcome with Ik art failure during the first act of "The Rounders" here to-night. The attack came on while he and Scabrooko were goingthrough their "photograph" scene, and Mandeville gave a gasp and fell backward. Seabrooke attempted to cover Ihr. interruption by some Impromptu nonsense, but. observing that Mandeville was in a serious condition, ordered the curtain down. Tho audience was dismissed. Mandeville whs revived only after several hours' work by two physicians. His condition is such that there is some doubt as to whether he will continue his engagement. HIS STOMACH TAKEN OUT liAiu: sen ra ca i operation vvav FOR 31 EU OX A CAXCElt VICTIM. Gnstrotomy Itemortcd to in an Endeav or to Save Lite The Patient Muy Iteeowr. NEW YORK. March The operation of gastrotomy, or removal of the stomach, was performed at the German Hospital, in lirocklyn, yesterday, on Jacob Wichman. Though the patient was in a poor condition to undergo so severe an operation, he stood it rather better than the physicians had expected. It is too e.irly as yet to know whether the operation was successful to the extent of saving Mr. Wlchman's life, but the probabilities are that it was. The operation was performed by the head surgeon of the hospital, with tho assistance of the hospital staff. For reasons of professional delicacy, the account of the operation was furnished to the newspapers with the understanding that the name of the surgeon should not be published. The operation was made necessary by the fact that Mr. Wichman had cancer of the stomach. He was told that his only chance lor life was that lie submit to the operation for the removal of the stomach. He consented to the operation A day was appointed for it, but just before the surgeons were to begin their work Mr. Wlchman's son, who had become much excited by the preliminary accounts of the operation printed in the newspapers, made a protest. He served written notice on the hospital that his father was feeble-minded and not responsible tor himself, and that the operation was forbidden by the next of kin. The hospital felt safe in disregarding this notice, which was not regarded as accurate, but it was determined to let the matter go rather than to have a luss. Tne son later consented to allow the operation to be performed. The following is substantially the account of the operation, as given by one of those present: "An incision was made in the abdomen and the stomach was found and brought down into the wound, (it should be explained to laymen that the stomach is well above the abdomen in its normal position.) Owing to the emaciated and consequently lax condition of the stomach, it was quite easily brought down. It was found to be diseased in two pla.ces. This is not unusual. Fsually cancer of the stomach is found to be in the middle of the organ. In this case it was found .t the place where the food enters the stomach, and also at the place where the food leaves the stomach. This had confused the symptoms which had been reported by the patient. He had complained of difficulty both in swallowing and in getting food out of the stomach. "It was then decided that only complete excision of the stomach afforded a chance for the patient's recovery. All the blood vessels leading into the stomach were then tied. A clamp was put on the tube connecting the stomach with the intestines, so that all danger of poisoning from a possible leakage of the contents of the Intestines Into the organs might be avoided. All the connection of the stomach and the other organs, except those which joined it to the intestines and the uesophagus or swallowing tube, were then severed. Those were left to the last, so that tin; two tubes might not remain open any longer than was necessary. The stomach was tied with strings at each end near the clamps and then a cut was made between the strings and the clamps and the stomach an as taken out entire. The two tubes Were then brought togf ther and joined. The end of the aesophagus had been unduly dilated by the efforts of the patient to force food into his stomach, and it was necessary to maice it smaller. A housewife would say that we took a tuck in it. The two tubes were sewed together with eighteen stitches and then were wrapped with a part of the loose tissue of the peritoneum. "This will take hold quickly ar.d should be partly grown to the other parts within a few hours. The organs were then restored to their normal positions and the wound was closed." For a time the only nourishment tho patient can take will be peptonized condensed milk, with water and eggs, but in time he will be able to digest everything that does not need pepsin for its digestion; such things will have to be predicated for him more or less. Salt water wi'l also be used to give the system moisture, and for the ereneral invigorating effect of its appropriation. It will be several weeks before the patient will be able to take food through his mouth. BUCKEYES AT BANQUET. Annual Dinner of the Ohio Society of Xew York The Speaker. NEW YORK, March . The fifteenth annua! banquet of the Ohio Society, held tonight in the Waldorf-Astoria, was attended by about 'SM members and guests of tho society. Milton I. Southard, president of the society, presided. On his rijht was Governor Nash, of Ohio, as the guest of lienor, and on his ieft was Governor McLean, or' Connecticut. Governor Odell and Lieutenant Governor Woodruff sent regrets. Other guests included Gen. Joseph Wheeler and the president of the local societies of the same character as tho Ohio Secietv.

A meeting of the officials of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy an. Davenport, Rock Island & Northwestern Railroads was held in Chicago to-day and details of operation were decided on in connection with the Joint traffic agreement reached some time ago for the operation of the Davenport road by the St. Paul and Burlington' "systems. U. R. Williams, gciieral manager of the C, M. & St. Paul Railway, was elected president of the Davenport road. The practical abscrptlon of the Davenport road by the St. Paul and the N Burlington systems is regarded as one of the most Important steps in the recent history of Western railroading. To the Burlington system it give. access for the first time to Davenport and brings that road into active competition for the traffic of that territory. In addition it will shorten the St. Louis-St. Paul route of that road by twelve miles, it being the intention of the Burllngon to run the St. Louis-St. Paul trains from Rock Island to Clinton over th new acc;uisition Instead of on the Illinois side of the Mississippi, as at present. General Passenger Agent Miller, of the Milwaukee road. Vaid to-day that his system will u?e the road in shortening its route between Chicago and Kansas City. It has begun the construction of a cut-off between Ottumwa and Columbus junction, la., and this, with the newly acquired trackage of the Davenport, Rock Island t Northwestern, will shorten the run between Chicago and Kansas City by at least forty miles and bring the St. Paul system into much sharper competition for passenger traffic between those points. Both the Burlington and St. Paul systems will begin th operation of trains over the Davenport road on Monday. Change on the Reuding;. PHILADELPHIA. March 30. The Record to-morrow will say: "Announcement during the coming week of important changes in tho management of the Reading Company Is expected, and the Record is in a position to state that Joseph S. Harris will retire from the presidency of the company and that George F. Baer, a director of the company anel a member of the executive committee, will succeed! "him. The proposed change in the presidency of the Reading Company is the result of several recent conferences with Mr. Morgan, who, with the Vanderbilts, is the dominating factors in the affairs of that company. The Heading Company owns and controls the stock and bonds of the Philadephhx & Reading Company, the. stock of the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron Company and stocks and bonds of various other corporations which go to make up the Reading system. The Reading Company also owns through a recent purcnase a controlling . interest in the Jersey Central, and Mr. Baer will also dictate the future policy of that company." It is understood that President Harri will remain as the executive head of the Philadelphia & Heading Railway, the Philadelphia &. Reading Coal and Iron Company and various other corporations now under control of the Reading Company. The report that George F. Baer will become president of the Reading Company was officially confirmed at Baltimore last night. He will assume the office in a fewdays. Xew General Mnnncer for the D. fc O. WASHINGTON, March 30. Daniel Wlllard has been appointed general manager of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, the vacancy being caused by the resignation of Frederick I). Underwood. Mr. Willard has been assistant general manager, coming to the Baltimore & Ohio from the Soo line, where he was superintendent. Previously he was connected with the Central of Vermont and the Lake Shore Sc Michigan Southern. He is considered an expert in railway economics. If he accepts he will be among the youngest general managers In the country, being only forty years old. His selection means a continuance of the present methods In the operation of the Baltimore & Ohio system. Hallway X'otes. President Blickensderfer, of the Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad Company again declares that the Wheeling & Lake Erie has not been sold. "1 am positive on that point," he says. President John K. Cowen, of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company, said yesterday that Vice President Underwood had not tendered his resignation and there was nothing to be said in connection with the talk of his successor. At a meeting of the board of directors of the Denver fc Rio Grande Railroad a resolution was adopted authorizing the aco.uisition of the Rio Grantle Western Railroad. The Denver & Rio Grande has held an option on the controlling interest in the Rio Grande Western for several weeks and it is said on the advice of George J.

Representative Landis, of Delphi, who was in the city last night, believes that the President should do something handsome for General Funtton, whose act in successfully leading the expedition against Aguinaldo appears to have broken the backbone 4 of the rebellion in the Philippines. "The people of the country," said Mr. Landis, "want General Funston rewarded. They think he should be made a brigadier general in the regular army. There is no doubt about the President doing what is right by General Funston. I believe that one of President McKinley's particularly strong phases of character is his inclination to do the square thing for those who deserve to be rewarded." Mr. Landis feels that the insurrection Is practically over ar.d that it will only require a nominal army now to keep peace in the Philippines. "Aguinaldo." said Mr. Landis, "has been guilty of treachery to his own people. He was treacherous to Spain and ho was treacherous to the United States army. He can't be trusted and I think he should be sent away to the Island ct Guam. We don't want him in this country." The Fnnnton Pedigree. To the E tiler of the In-lianapolls Journal: 'As a cousin of Gen. Fred Funston and Lieut. Burt Mitchell, I take the liberty of correcting some mistakes in the various accounts of them that have appeared in the Journal. Lieutenant Mitchell Is not a nephew of General Funston, but a cousin, a son of Asa N. Mitchell, who served as a sergeant in the Sixteenth Ohio Battery. The Funston family were at no time residents of Indiana. E. II. Funston was born in Bethel township, Clark county, Ohio, was raised there, graduated at Linden Hill Academy, New Carlisle. O., served as a lieutenant in the Sixteenth Ohio Battery during the four years of the rebellion, and then moved to Kansas. A few facts known to the family which might account for the adventurous and lighting qualities of both Funston and Mitchell may, perhaps, be of interest to the public at this time. Their ancestry fought In every American war. While General Funston'g father was a brave soldier in the civil war, it Is from his mother's family, the Mitchells, he inherits his military tendencies. Pomroy Mitchell, great-grandfather of both young men, was a soldier of the revolution, as was also their great-grandfather, Philip Swigart. Their great uncles. John, and Archibald JJitchell. foucht la the war vf

1S12. and their great uncles, Charles and Anderson Mitchell, were In the Mexican war, Anderson losing his life at the battle of the City of Mexico. Their great-grandmother, Margaret Van Meter, was a niece of Daniel Boone and a cousin of General George Rogers Clark; she also was the daughter of a soldier of the revolution, who fought at- the battle of King's Mountain. This woman probably had a military record unsurpassed in American history, having thirty grandsons in the civil War. The aggregate military service of these men amounted to sixty years. One of these grandsons, Anderson Mitchell, captain of the Sixteenth Ohio Battery, was killed at the battle of Champion 1111!. This battery served in General McGinnis's brigade during the Vicksburg campaign, and the fathers of both Funston and Mitchell were members of the battery. A. B. MITCHELL. Indianapolis, March 30.

LOSS OF THE FRANCHISE Said to lie a Good Things for the XeKro The South Benefited. BIRMINGHAM. Ala.. March 30. W. II. Skaggs, of this city, who has recently returned from a tour of the Northwest, where he was engaged In an investigation of the trenel of Southern immigration and the class of people interested, made the following statement here to-day: "The disfranchisement of the negro in the Southern States is increasing the demand for Southern lands.' Northern settlers will not locate in communities where the negro is an Important political factor. In nearly every settlement of Northern people in the South the negro is excluded altogether. William Council, one of the ablest and best of negroes, has declared that the francnise is worth nothing to the negro, and it is now the general opinion of representative negroes like Booker T. Washington that the negro is better off without it." AMUSING THEMSELVES AXTI-IMPEIUALISTS DISPLAYING THEIR VITUPERATIVE ABILITIES. Return to Their Chief Ooonpntlon of AlMiNing: President McKnley and . 1'rnlalngr General Arrnliin'ldo. BOSTON, March 30. President McKinley's administration was denounced and Aguinaldo's name loudly applauded by the large audience that listened to the speakers at the Anti-imperialist meeting in Faneuil to-night. Col. Charles R. Codman presided, and on the platform, besides the speakers, were Edward Atkinson, Erving Winslow, Moorfield Storey, Robert Treat Paine1, jr., and other gentlemen of wellknown anti-imperialistic proclivities. The audience was very enthusiastic nnd at timers was wrought up to a high pitch of excitement by the remarks of the speakers. Colonel Codman, in opening the meeting, made a forcible address. He said: "Think for a moment how easily we might have had peace with the Filipino people. It was only to have said to them, when with their efficient aid we had taken Manila, 'we will treat yqu as we promised to treat the Cubans. The Filipinos would have believed our promise, as the Cubans believed it, and they will believe us now, unless they hear too much of the administration's dealings with Cuba." George S. Boutwell, the next speaker, strongly criticised the attitude of the adminstration towards the Filipinos. "We are asning the Filipinos to accept our promises of justice . in government," he said, "and what is the character of the evidence that we offer in support of our promise. If the Filipinos hear of our dealings with Cuba they i will doubt our sincerity. We are now demanding concessions from Cuba that are inconsistent with our pledge of indejHodence and sovereignty, and the administration is struggling to become a world power by alliances with the strong, as in the case with China, and by usurpations over the weak, as in Hawaii, Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines." In conclusion he said: "If there has been any betrayal of the American Constitution, if the principles of human liberty have been trampled down in these four ye-ars. the author is William McKinley, and for his conduct the Republican party has assumed full responsibility. The remedy Is the overthrow of President McKinley through defeat of the Republican party." The next speaker was George G. Mercr, of Philadelphia, who was followed by Sea;r Sixto Lopez, Aguinaldo's former secretary, who was greeted with great app'ause as he rose to speak. His address, which war, not long, was read from carefully prepared notes, and, although not lluently elelivei m1, was made in an earnest manner. "From the reports that come from the Philippines," he said, "the uninformed reader might infer that the war there is over, but I am able to assure you that the conditions are practically the same as heretofore. Very few persons in .this country realize what it costs to obtain the enforced allegiance of even these lew thousands of Filipinos. My lips are sealed in regard to this aspect of the question, but some day the truth will be known, and I can only pray that it will be known soon. But let no one be deceived into the belief that permanent peace can be restored in the Philippines by force of arms, or by any other process, however cruel or unjust. If cruelty could have subjugated the Filipinos, they would have been subjugated ere this." Mr. Lopez was followed by his secretary, Mr. Patterson, who supplemented the words of his chief as to the conditions, needs, purposes and aims of the Filipinos. Other speakers were R. M. Morse and Rev. A. Ebberle, D. D. LABOR, TRADE, INDUSTRY. The banking house of W.. B. Webster & Co., of Hannibal.' N. Y., has failed, with liabilities of 125,000. The assets are not stated. Twenty cotton mills in Fall River, Mass., were shut down yesterday andLwill remain closed until April S for curtailment. These mills employ about .000 hands, r The board regulating the Scottish manufactured iron trade wages has decided that the decline in the selling prices in January and February, which equals 10 per cent., calls for a reduction In wages. Th reduction begins to-morrow. The coal hoisting engineers of the Massillon, O., district will strike at t o'clock Monday morning because the operators refuse them an eight-hour workday and a wage scale of $l.l to SJ.13. Enforced idleness to 4,0t)0 miners will result. The Youngstown. O., Iron. Sheet and Tube Company bought land to build a Jl,0oO.(M plant to compete with the big combinations. The company is composed of manufacturers who sold out to trie trusts. It is understood they will build a steel plant later. The furnace workers of Youngstown. 0 have rejected the compromise offer of an increase of 10 cents'" per -'day. made on Friday by the blast furnace operators, and will strike Monday for their original demand for a 20-cent increase if not conceded before that time. The joint subscale , committee of miners and operators, of the Springfield, 111., district, met twice yeiterday, but accomplished nothing. The miners eliminated all top men from list for an advance in wages, but insisted upon an increase of 25 cents per elay for all other laborers. The engineers and boiler makers at Marseilles have resumed work, but the strike of the dock laborers has not changed. At the closing of the labor exchange vesterday several hundred men approached the town nan, snouting "ne must nave eight hours work a day!'1 The cavalry dispersed the demonstrators. The union carpenters of Cleveland on Monday will demand an advance in wages of 5 cents an hour from the contractors. If the demand is refused It is paid a strike will be declared. The men now receive 27U cents au hour and work eight hours per day. It is claimed that two-thirds of all the carpenters in the city belong to the union.

The operators and miners failed to agree upon a scale for machine mining in Subdistrict 5, of Ohio, yesterday, but it was decided to leave the old rate in force until May 1. when another conference will be held. The operators wanted the same rate for machine mining as the Hocking Valley, but the miners insist on a 4-cent differential on account of the thin vein in that district. The miners talk of a strike on May 1 unless the differential is conceded. The Hocking Valley operators have made the miners a new proposiVon relative to the modification of the dockVng system and a Joint conference will bo held in Columbus on Monday to consider it. The operators ask that they be permitted to select a check weighman at each mine from among ten men to be selected by the miners, the operators guaranteeing full wages In case the dockage does not pay the miners' half. The operators insist that some plan must be adopted that will insure clean coal. II. C.
